Last few years we’ve done Alaska, Ffjords, Japan and New England and all have been fantastic holidays packaged well by Cruise Nation. On our most recent trip to New England, Jemma responded so quickly to a last minute request to amend our booking to a different hotel. Can’t fault the service. Thank you

Terrible customer service

Recently wrote a review on cruisenation customer service. I had a valid complaint that I left a review about on here. A certain Natasha Crossley fobbed me off as most do. I requested to speak to her manager. She gave me an email address for some person called Phil. Phil feels he is too important to respond. I was totally ignored. Plenty other cruise sites happy to book with.
